The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson, will finally swear in Democratic Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva of Arizona this Wednesday after weeks of delay that have caused strong controversy.

A representative of the United States House of Representatives announced on Tuesday that the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, will hold a Grijalva's swearing-in ceremony will take place at 2 pm Arizona time at the US Capitol.

The swearing-in will take place seven weeks after she won a special election called to fill the seat left vacant by her late father, Raul Grijalva.

The Democratic Party has accused Johnson of deliberately delaying the congresswoman's swearing-in, leaving a vacancy in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a very narrow majority.

Johnson has postponed Grijalva's appointment, arguing that she was elected on September 23, when the House was in recess, and then the federal government shutdown began due to a lack of funding, a period during which the institution has remained paralyzed.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sued Johnson in October over the delay in the appointment, the longest ever for a congresswoman elected in a special election.

Grijalva will be sworn into position this Wednesday, when the House of Representatives resume sessions to vote on the budget extension bill approved Monday by the Senate to reopen the federal government.
